Early the next morning, Li Su finally completed the necessary procedures. Long Fei immediately ordered people to knock on the door. The whole Yuan Mansion was in chaos. The generals did not dare to take action. Some of the desperate ones were taken care of by Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.
, the rest were all much more honest. They imprisoned all the family members in two courtyards according to men and women. Long Fei gave the order and began to search the Yuan Mansion.
What are antique calligraphy and paintings, pearl agate, what are magic weapons and swords, and armor and battle robes? These things are all dazzling. Li Su specially found a dozen literati to compile them into books one by one. He was busy for a whole day
In the morning, there were only a handful of them. Looking at the mountains of all kinds of treasures piled up in the yard, the soldiers were a little numb. In the eyes of others, they were throwing rare treasures that were priceless, and they were throwing them around and even stepping on them.
"Hey!" Li Su sighed and shook his waist: "Master Long, we have been put into a hard job, so many things will last until the year of the monkey!"
Long Fei had no interest in those antique calligraphy and paintings. He had been looking at them one by one next to the pile of weapons and armor. If he liked anything, he would put it in his arms. Even if Li Su was present, he would not be embarrassed at all. Long Fei happened to pick one up from the ground.
The wooden box was so old that there was a thick layer of dust on it. Long Fei blew out a big breath and choked himself, coughing repeatedly: "What are you afraid of? Take your time! Mr. Li, are you interested?
I like it. I heard that Mr. Li has done some research on antiques. I just saw a small tripod from the Shang Dynasty, right there! I didn't let them enter it!"
Li Su nodded and smiled: "Thank you very much! Was that wooden box sent by Master Long yesterday?"
"What wooden box?" Long Fei gently opened the lid: "Is there a wooden box here?"
"No?" Li Su said with a smile. The two looked at each other and knew clearly.
Inside the box that Long Fei opened was a jet-black dagger. It was all black from top to bottom, without any light. It had no color even under the sunlight. Long Fei slowly took it out and looked at it. Li Su happened to see it and came to
Beside Long Fei, he looked at the dagger carefully. There was a seal character vaguely engraved on the dark side of the dagger.
"Is it true?" Li Su suddenly frowned and said this.
"What's wrong?"
Li Su took the dagger from Long Fei's hand, looked at it over and over for a long time, nodded and said, "Does Master Long know the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin?"
"Of course I know? What does it have to do with this dagger?" Long Fei suddenly opened his eyes wide: "See you in Tuqiong Dagger? Master Li means that this dagger was used by Jing Ke? Is it the dagger that Jing Ke used to assassinate Qin Shihuang?"
Li Su turned the dark side of the dagger out, pointed to the word and said: "This word read Jing, which is Jing Ke's Jing! Legend has it that at the beginning of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Dynasty, Prince Dan of Yan went around looking for famous people to make weapons for Jing Ke. Someone passed by a barren mountain.
An old man was found in a cave. The old man gave the dagger to the man and asked him to give it to Prince Dan. According to records, the dagger was five inches long, completely black, and cut iron like mud. No one knew what it was made of! Later,
Jing Ke poured his own blood on it, and the word "Jing" appeared on the dark side!"
"Ah?" Long Fei sounded a bit like a fairy tale. He slowly took the dagger from Li Su's hand and looked at it over and over. He didn't notice that his index finger was lightly scratched by the tip of the dagger, and a long gash flowed out.
The blood was instantly absorbed by the dagger. Long Fei hurriedly pulled his hand and saw that the dagger slowly turned red from the tip, blood red. In a short time, the entire dagger turned blood red, which was scary.
"Don't move! Don't move!" Li Su asked Long Fei to reveal the dark side of the dagger. The word "Jing" was missing. Li Su was shocked: "God's will! God's will! From now on, this dagger is yours!"
It took three days to inspect the Yuan Mansion, and all the accounts were compiled and submitted to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo only read one volume and threw the bamboo slips away: "Li Su, please think about it, this is just saying you are loyal to the Han and your Majesty.
Sima of Shisan Company? Huh? Listen to what they have! Read it, read it loudly!"
Li Su picked up the bamboo slips from the ground, rearranged them, and slowly opened them: "After checking the property accounts of Yuan Wei's house, there were a total of one hundred and thirty-three thousand two hundred and twenty-three taels of gold, eighty thousand pieces of brocade, and three thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight dollars."
120,000, 102 horses, 1.35 million dans of grain, 825 weapons, 1,246 pairs of armor,..."
"Listen, what does Yuan Wei want to do?" Dong Zhuo slapped the dragon case fiercely: "Weapons, armor, horses? He wants to wait for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to come and act as an internal response! The Han Dynasty
His treasury is empty, but Sikong Mansion is full of gold and silver? Is this a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? I know, you keep saying that I am a thief, but what about Yuan Wei?"
The civil servants and generals remained silent. Liu Xie quietly hid in a corner of the dragon chair and was trembling all over. Dong Zhuo looked at the courtiers: "I'm afraid the Yuan family is not the only one. I won't embarrass the rest of you. You all can see
Let's do it! Anyone who wants to contribute to the country within three days should go to the Taicang Order! However, I hope you can see clearly that although I, Dong Zhuo, am a rough man, I am not blind!"
Li Su was left in the palace by Dong Zhuo. In order to reward Li Su for doing well this time, Dong Zhuo invited Li Su to a banquet. During the banquet, beauties were frequently urging people to drink. Dong Zhuo was very happy and kept praising Li Su for his good work.
His image suddenly became much more positive among the courtiers. Li Su also kept talking and flattering one after another.
Dong Zhuo suddenly waved everyone down and called Li Su to his side: "Xian son-in-law, tell me how much you and Long Fei took?"
Li Su was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "It's okay. You and Long Fei secretly shared more than ten carriages of gold and silver. I know all of this, which is fine! As long as he loves money, that's fine.
Weakness, we can trust him in the future!"
"What my father-in-law said is absolutely true!" Li Su said with relief: "Long Fei is indeed a talent. If he hadn't led his troops to surround the Yuan Mansion in advance, the Yuan family would have run away!"
Dong Zhuo nodded: "Then do you think Hei Bing's affairs can be left to him?"
Li Su took a breath and thought for a moment: "Long Fei sometimes seems to be upright, but sometimes he is a little evil! But this man is very loyal. My father-in-law rebuilt the Eighth School of Xiyuan. In addition to our own people, Long Fei, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun
, Zhang Liao seems to have formed a group, and they all follow Long Fei's lead, and I learned that Long Fei recently obtained more than 10,000 soldiers from Bailang Valley, and gradually gained his own strength! If my father-in-law leaves this matter to him,
It shows that his father-in-law has great trust in him. He must be naturally grateful and miss his father-in-law's appreciation and support, so he must be loyal to him!"
"What about the people around him?"
Li Su hurriedly said: "As long as we control Long Fei, the people around him won't have anything to worry about. Father-in-law, please rest assured. Li Su dares to make this guarantee!"
"That's good!" Dong Zhuoxin agreed: "Tomorrow you go to the West Garden in person and find Long Fei and the others. I will personally entertain them!"
Naturally, the banquet for Long Fei could not be held in the palace. Dong Zhuo did not invite anyone and only asked Li Su to accompany him. During the banquet, he praised Long Fei and others. He also personally selected several beauties to reward everyone. Long Fei was also unceremonious, Dong Zhuo
Just leave it to him. As for how to arrange it, just leave it to Wang Qiang. The conversation slowly turned from government affairs to Hei Bing's affairs.
Li Su suddenly suggested that Dong Zhuo leave the matter of contacting Hei Bing to Long Fei. Dong Zhuo was naturally happy and asked Long Fei: "Captain Long, are you willing?"
Long Fei hurriedly stood up: "Grand Master, I have just heard about this black ice official. Since it is an order from the Grand Master, I must do this well, but..."
"Just what? Captain Long, you're welcome. If you have any difficulties, I will definitely help you!"
"Thank you, Grand Master!" Long Fei bowed his hands and saluted: "Hei Bing's activities are secretive. It takes a lot of effort to find them, and getting on the line with them also requires their trust. I hope that Grand Master will allow me to have the right to act expediently in Luoyang City.
If there are any special circumstances, I can respond promptly!"
Dong Zhuo nodded: "What Lieutenant Long said is absolutely true, come here!"
Someone held a tray, which was covered with red cloth. The person walked up to Long Fei and gently opened the red cloth, revealing a strange-looking bronze medal. It said it was square or not, round or not, with two golden dragon plates.
It was tied with yellow rope on both sides. The four characters "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" were engraved on the front. Dong Zhuo said: "This is the token I specially asked for from His Majesty. With it, Lieutenant Long can enter and leave all places in Luoyang, even the imperial palace."
! Captain Long, it’s up to you whether you can defend Luoyang!”
Long Fei hurriedly knelt down and took the token with both hands: "The grand master appreciates the official and will never forget it for the rest of his life. The official swears to be loyal to the grand master. If he disobeys the grand master, he will be struck by thunder!"
"Hahaha..." Dong Zhuo laughed: "Okay! From now on, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and you all will listen to Long Xiaowei's orders. Come, drink this cup! I wish Long Xiaowei a victory!"
After returning to the West Garden, Long Fei told everyone in detail about Dong Zhuo's banquet. Everyone was happy. With Dong Zhuo's instructions, they could blatantly investigate the black ice incident in Luoyang. But where should they start?
But they had no idea. Since Cao Cao escaped, Mi Zhu and the others seemed to have disappeared and never showed up again. Even the wine shops and teahouses in Luoyang City that were originally used by Hei Bing to communicate were closed overnight.
Wang Wei said: "Since Luoyang is gone, let's go look elsewhere. Maybe they have all hid in the surrounding counties!"
"Yes!" Wang Qiang also said: "This is a method. Hei Bing has spies all over the world. There is no other place to go in Luoyang!"
Long Fei shook his head: "They must still be in Luoyang! Maybe we overlooked something! Starting from tomorrow, let all the brothers go out and ask them to pretend to be common people and look for me in Luoyang. I don't believe that in this little Luoyang, I
You can’t find them!”
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" Zhang Liao said: "Although this matter was sent by the Grand Master, I don't think it is appropriate if it causes trouble all over the city!"
"Yes, brother, Brother Zhang is right!" Zhao Yun also said: "Judging from the search of Yuan Mansion, Dong Zhuo still wants to save face. He will definitely not be happy if it causes trouble in the city!"
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, the guard at the camp gate suddenly broke in: "My lords, there is a man outside the camp who calls himself Mi Zhu and wants to see him!"
